Adefisayo Omobola Adeagbo fled her home, abandoning her husband and home in an attempt to go against the tradition of circumcising her
first daughter Ireoluwamitide who has become eligible for circumcision after she turns four years old.

The mother of 2 was earlier reported missing and contact details put out for anyone with useful information of her whereabouts. She disappeared from her home in November 2017 and her whereabouts is still not known.

A source who spoke to this journalist explained that Adefisayo didn’t know it was a practice her husband’s family engaged in until she was told that her first daughter who turned 4 years old has become eligible for circumcision.

All Attempt to reach the husband has failed has he’s said to have gone into hiding out of fear of his family.
